DEATH

The wreckage in which Prisca Mashengyero Tembo, wife to State Minister for ICT, Nyombi Tembo died.
When death strikes, many of us look around for reasons why such a death may have occurred more so to our dear loved one. Saturday night was a real tragedy when the wife of Nyombi Tembo died in a terrible accident. May the Almighty God well come her into eternity. However, when one looks at the wreckage of both the vehicles, one wonders whether Prisca really deserved such a death! As a political animal, I wish to appeal to the NRM Government to pay attention to the issues many times raised. May be, when a number of these are well handled, much of the untimely deaths may cease to be.

There is some truth to the old saying, “There are only two things you can count on in life: death and taxes.” Everyone experiences death. Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life.
Some people know ahead of time when their death will occur. Terminal illnesses, when diagnosed ahead of time, allow a person to set his or her affairs in order, make relationships right, and say goodbye to loved ones. In these cases, every person involved has a chance to gradually adjust and make peace with death, as much as possible. However, not everyone has this chance. Many deaths occur suddenly. Death can, and often does, strike without warning.
No one is promised tomorrow. The only thing we can count on is today.
Many people around the world turn to religion to answer questions about death and the afterlife, especially when someone is facing his or her own mortality. Strangely, even a brief glance at many of the world’s religions reveals that many theologies glamorize death, promising rewards in the afterlife, including increased understanding of God and the universe and even, in some cases, supernatural powers that were unavailable during the mortal life. Death often seems more attractive than being alive.
But the reality of death is that it should be avoided at all costs. Death is the worst thing to ever happen in all of existence.
Life is a precious gift we are unable to recreate once it’s gone. The truth about death lays plain the harshness of the grave … but also the true beauty of the life we already have. We invite you to learn more about this topic, and hope you better appreciate your life as a result.
